Flying Dutchman : An Opera in Three Acts by Richard Wagner

This innovative edition of Richard Wagner¹s The Flying Dutchman is one in a major series of fully illustrated operas, published in association with The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London. Artist Kevin Maddison unfolds the legend with magnificent impact in a frame-by-frame format, and to the accompaniment of a new and vivid non-singing translation by Mike Ashman. As Simon Estes, who has sung the leading role over 100 times, puts it: ³The pages that follow, you will find, provide a superb visual rendering of this highly dramatic tale.² A splendid accompaniment to armchair listening, an aide-memoire for the story-line, and a wonderful souvenir of an evening at the opera.Maddison, Kevin is the author of 'Flying Dutchman : An Opera in Three Acts by Richard Wagner', published 2001 under ISBN 9780756750374 and ISBN 0756750377.
